My god… how long has it been! I’ve been on hiatus from really doing anything for a while. But I come back to you to spread the word of mixes and music. 1. Music for a Deep Sleep 01 I was having a lot of trouble sleeping a few nights ago, so made this selection…
It’s More Fun To Compute – Back From an Unplanned Downtime
Waaaaayyyyyyyy back on December 22nd I think it was, my computer at home decided to shit the bed. Being busy over the holidays, and since then with a skiing trip and a bunch of potential job stuff, I only got the chance to get everything back up and running this afternoon. Finally, the guest mixes…
Juju & Jordash – ‘Not a Blue Meanie in sight’
Just wanted to do a quick link across to a great new mix and interview from J&J. Have been loving the mix – a great blend of spaced out jazz, ambient electronics, dub, house and other funkiness that sees all the elements working together to make something else. Check it! http://madelikeatree.com/Pages/jujujordash.html
More Shake Business…
I know it ain’t the second half of the ISM interview with Shake from 2.5 years ago (which is still on a cassette tape somewhere in my house!), but it is a brand new interview with the man over at Resident Advisor. I actually did the interview a little while back, but it’s still all…
RIP Teddy Pendergrass
Teddy Pendergrass is one of those artists whose work I have seemingly always been aware of. From the Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes classic “If You Don’t Know My By Now” to his solo work, Teddy was one of the most iconic soul singers whose identity was wrapped up in one word: LOVE. But…

Wise words from Weinberg
Most techno producers seem to want to gravitate towards Berlin, the Mecca of all things technoid, but not native German Arne Weinberg, a man who has built up an impressive musical CV for himself in the last decade. He has set up shop in Scotland, Glasgow to be precise, for the last couple of years,…
Merry Xmas: Full Album by Scott Ferguson – Exclusive ISM Download
Our main man Scott Ferguson (he of the eight guest mixes so far, with another one ready to go soon!) has blessed us all this year with a free album as a gift exclusively to ISM readers. Scott is, of course, a bad ass producer along with his deejaying skill, and the two mixes he…
Some music I enjoyed this year…
Yes, one would think I’d have something better to do on Christmas Eve than be sitting in front of my computer compiling lists but sadly I’m working over this year’s festive season – though obviously I’ve not actually got a lot of proper work to do as such, but I still gotta sit here nevertheless….
